Be `it known that I, CLrDnf-S. PEUroN, a 1 citizen of the "Unitedwstatesfresidin at Cleveland Heights, in the county of Ilya.'- hoga and State ofOhio, have invented .aA

certain new and useful Improvement in Heaters for Motor-Propelled Vehicles, of which the followin is a full, clear, and exact description, re erence being had to the 0 accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to heatersvfor-motor propelled vehicles wherein the hotex# haust gases from the motor are employed to heat the passenger compartment. The par# l5 ticular heater hereinldescribed and claimed has been developed for use With'lmotors of the type provided with twin exhaust pipes, and the-objects of the invention are'theproof heater which can be connected to such twin exhaust pipes so as toheat the air in the car without at the same time throwing the motor out of balance; ,the provision of a simple, inexpensive, and attractiveheater; while further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent ,as the description proceeds. j

One embodiment of the invention is shown in the-accompanying drawings in'which Fig.- 1 'is a top plan view o f the completeheater, certain parts being shown as broken away;

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view through the device shown in Fig. 1; Fig. 3

is a cross sectional view corresponding to the broken line 3-3 of F ig. 2; Fig. 4 is a perspective view` showing the relation of the heater to twin exha t pipes arranged on opposite si s of thecar; and Fig. 5 is a perspective lew of: the heater arrangement when the exhaust pipes are arranged on th same side of the car. Describing the parts ters 1-1 represent a air of similar hollow -headers,.each being dgvided into two chambers by a partition 2. Each chamber ,has a ortopenmg through the bottom of. the eader, and also a plurality of lsockets A opening through that side which faces the other headers and .receiving the ends of the-- radiator pipes 3-3. In the present embodiby reference characment, each chamber is formed withl two ets, four radiator pipes in all beingemployed,

but the number may be greater or smaller as desired excepting that itis preferable to have equal numbers of pipes communicating with the diii'erentchambers. *The headers are heldin place by meansfof suitable bolts v 4 -4: 'which project through certain of the plpes The-radiator is located vin a suitable cas` ing such as the oblong pan 5 adapted 'to vbe set in a hole in the car `iieor, and covered *by a perforated door plate 6. Theplateis here shown as clampedupon the top Hangs of the pan by means of screws 7-7, andthe lower face of each heater is also shown as` having shoulders 8-8 which rest on the an and are secured thereto by screws 9. he vision of a simple, compact and eiiicient type lples IO-lO which surround the .ports and receive the pipe connections which lead the exhaust pipe. Plain elbows 11-11 are shown at one end in combination with elbows'- 12-12 at the other end, the latter arranged,v

to cross each other. At one end is shown a vertical rock. shaft 15 connectedto an adjusting `lever 16 and operatin arm 17 .adapted to be connected vto a suita le kind of -valve by-which the flow of exhaust .gases can be regulated. l /f The radiator is arranged .transverselyof. the car, and'when the exhaust ipes arel arranged on opposite sides ofthe caras shown in Fig. 4 the inlet conduits 18-18 are connected at opposite headers to chambers which communicate with different sets of pipes so 'that the gases after assing through the radiator are discharge upon opposite sides oi the vehicle from their point o origin. They maybe either discharged directly luto the atmosphere or led to some suitable place of escape by the pipes 19-19. In oase both exhaust pipes are disposed upon the saine side of the vehicle as-shown in Fig." 5 they are inw ich event the gas flow is inthe same diheader.

lreferably connected tothe same header,

rection in `the-two sets ofr ipes and the spent Y gases are discharged om the opposite It will be understood that many changes in detail can be made within the scope of my invention. l I

Having thus described i'ny invention, what I claim is:

1. In an automobile, the combination with an engine having two independent exhaust pipes located one at each side of the car, of a radiator having two parallel sets of heat ing pipes located side by side and extending transversely of the car, one set of pipes being operatively connected to each exhaust pipevand dischargingthe waste gas atthe opposite side of the car.

2. In an automobile, the combination with two independent exhaust pipes of anV engine,

of a radiator having .two parallel sets of' Y heating pipes located side by side, each set of heating pipes being operatively connected at one end to one of theexhaust pipes and discharging the exhaust end.

3. In an automobile, the combination with two independent exhaust pipes of an engine, of a casing, two setsof parallel pipes inside of said casing arranged side by side and extending from end to end thereof, headers attached to the ends of said ipes having independent inlet and outlet c ambers for the respective sets o pipes, and means connecting each inlet chamber to one of said exhaust pipes.

In testimony whereor, l hereunto alnx my signature.
